Resumen:
Caffeine administration has been used to stimulate respiration and reverse metabolic alterations in high-birthweight piglets that suffer neonatal asphyxia. However, its effect has not been evaluated on low-birthweight neonates. This study determined the effect of subcutaneously administering caffeine on the physiometabolic profile of neonate piglets with low birthweight and neonatal asphyxia. A 35-mg subcutaneous dose of caffeine, or an equivalent placebo, was randomly administered at 0 and 24 h to neonate piglets (n = 120) diagnosed with intrapartum asphyxia and classified as low-(LW) or high weight (HW) in a 2 by 2 experimental design. Blood samples were obtained at 0, 2 and 24 h postpartum. At 2 h, blood glucose concentrations diminished in the animals in both groups that were treated with caffeine (P < 0.005). Of those animals, only the ones in HW showed increased glucose concentrations by 24 h. At 0 h, group LW exhibited the highest levels of pCO(2) (P < 0.005). In contrast, from
